FILM MAKERS
John Christenson is a photographer and director who’s exhibited his own work in both solo and group shows in the US and Europe. He is also the founder and curator of the traveling art show Oil&Ink which brings together some of the best artists working in 2D art with a focus on the motorcycle scene. John’s passion for motorcycles, film and art has brought him all over the world meeting and making some lifelong friends.
SUMMARY
One of those friends is Lorenzo Eroticolor who is the artist featured in this short film titled ‘The Poster Maker’. Lorenzo has been a part of the Oil&Ink show from the beginning and has become a great friend. I had the idea to shoot a short film based on the life of an artist and it only seemed natural to feature Lorenzo in the first film.
The film was shot in and around Paris documenting the life and art of Lorenzo. His life and art are completely intertwined which shows through in the posters he creates. Lorenzo prints his work with Nicolas Draeger, a 6th generation master printer in his shop Anthese Lithographie in Paris. The story I set out to tell in this film was to give a glimpse into Lorenzo’s life and his passion for not only the artwork he creates but also his family, friends and of course motorcycles. – John Christenson
Excellent! 🏍

Très jolie, mes félicitations!
as an english speaker, really hard to hear and understand without subtitles or closed captioning.
ee doez havv a hevvvy accent! But so charming!
Seriously ??? Good lord … aint been out in the world much has ya now ? Cause .. damn …. his speech was as clear as any ESL speaker I’ve ever heard and a ( bleep ) if a lot better than far too many fellow … err …. Yanks !
On the film …. love his art work ( SuperSpecial used to feature him a lot ) … love the film … love the accent … love it all . Hell I even love the background mood music ( a rare compliment from me indeed ) mainly cause …. it fits !!!!
Tak -Danke – Muchos Gracias – Molto Grazie – Domo etc etc etc … et all … my only complaint … its too damn … short
I was drawn in by the impressionistic style of the artist and his love for everything motorcycle. I agree that the best way to get lost is on a motorcycle. I have been doing more of it lately. The vintage racing on the big track was a pleasure to watch also as I am about to try flying on my Indian around Daytona’s banks.
Pardon my being a pedantic PIA … but me thinks the art term you’re searching for in relation to Mssr. Lorenzo’s art is ;
Art Deco … not Impressionism
Damn French !!! . Delicious food .. incredible wines .. beautiful art … the most incredible classic cars on the planet .. stunning women ( don’t tell Mrs GS I said that ) .. wonderful classical music ( and some pop and jazz as well ) and the most beautiful and listenable language and accent in existence
Damn French !!!
( been a long time since I’ve had an excuse to let loose with that little rant of mine )
